About KAM

The Team has made many updates from the 2016 season. With the help of Chuck Schutz, the Team has upgraded its inventory with a former track champion chassis. The driver is Andy Cassel of Boyertown, PA. The Team is also switching its number to 28. Andy is the son of modified racer Wes Cassel, who drove the 28c around the 1/3rd Grandview oval in the 1970’s. What better way to keep the KAM tradition of family by running a 28! (more about KAM Fueled Racing)
